I said Boston metropolitan area. I wanted to make sure folks knew I realized that kids from Cambridge couldn’t possibly make it all the way to Fenway Park.

Fri, 01 Nov 2013 23:21:29 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=502557#comment-607341And they’re there because Boston and its metropolitan area houses arguably the two top universities in the country – Harvard and MIT – several of its best music conservatories, and several dozen other universities and colleges, many of which would rank in the top ten percent of the best schools in America. Many, if not most, of those “idiot” college students represent the top tier of the nation’s (and the world’s) leadership of the next generation in the arts, sciences and law. Not bad for idiots, eh?

Fri, 01 Nov 2013 22:40:38 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=502557#comment-607332An extraordinarily stupid and meaningless question. I hope for your sake it was a one-off thing and not indicative of your normative level of brain function.

On the chance that you were just having a bad day, let me refresh your alleged memory: the girl was sitting on a step or some such thing when the clueless morons of the local gendarmerie opened fire, randomly, into the crowd with their crowd-control guns – not because of violence but because they wouldn’t move away from the stadium grounds. Snelgrove, a few days shy of 22 years old, was hit in the eye and bled to death after one pellet fragmented and penetrated her brain. The city and the police admitted full responsibility for their thuggish stupidity (while simultaneously blaming the rest of the crowd, of course), removed the supposedly non-lethal weapons from service, fired or suspended four officers involved for their horrifically poor judgment, and between the city and the manufacturers of the weapons paid the girl’s family $15 million dollars in settlement.

Now then, what would my knowing or not knowing her have to do with the circumstances of her murder?

Fri, 01 Nov 2013 22:00:50 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=502557#comment-607325Yes, and almost immediately a good Bostonian started a GoFundMe account to help out the guy who owns the car. And the nice thing about the GoFundMe account is that after they get enough money to cover they guy’s expenses for repairing the car, the rest of the money is being donated to The One Fund. That’s right, as usual, even when Boston falls down (though I would suggest that one flipped car, and 11 arrests in the aftermath of a sports championship, hardly qualifies as a “riot”), it picks itself up in a big way.

Idiot college kids are part of what make Boston awesome. They sustain the club scene, the music scene. They’re great. Not all of them, but most of them.

Fri, 01 Nov 2013 20:35:52 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=502557#comment-607288What kind of a lunatic believed (back in April) that THIS team was going to win the World Series? You’ve got to be kidding me.

At the time of the Punto trade, I thought, “At least they can rebuild to being a playoff club in three years.” And nothing that happened in the off season changed my mind. Total bridge year.

I hated the Victorino signing. I thought keeping Ortiz (90 games played in 2012) was a PR move. Thought Lackey was worthless. I thought Stephen Drew was keeping the seat warm for Boegarts, and maybe be traded before the season was over. I never thought Iglesias — who I liked a lot — would ever hit worth a damn. I thought — after the Sox withdrew the three-year deal with Napoli — that Napoli was going to be worthless. I couldn’t believe Ryan Dempster was the third starter, until I considered the alternatives. And at least it was only a two-year deal.

I loved the Uehara signing, but I NEVER thought he was going to be this good. I thought Ellsbury and Pedroia would have bounce-back seasons. I hoped for the best from Lester and Buchholz, but had no idea what was going to happen with either.

I’m glad to have been so very wrong about so many things. But, for Pete’s sake: If you think I didn’t ‘believe’ in this team from the beginning, then you’re right. You’d have to be a preposterous homer to think otherwise. And that’s why this team was such a delight — and why we’ll remember them more fondly than the 2007 champions.
